If you want to write a dictionary definition, recipe or quotation archive, consider using one of Wikipedia's sister projects, such as Wiktionary or Wikiquote. These are more specialised, as they focus on a particular type of page. Links can be made to these pages by adding the project name as a namespace ("Wikiquote:", "Wikibooks:", "Wiktionary:"), or using the shortcuts ("Q:", "B:", and "Wikt:", respectively).

L'Ukraine a toujours aspiré à être libre ; mais étant entourée de la Moscovie, des États du grand-seigneur et de la Pologne, il lui a fallu chercher un protecteur, et par conséquent un maître, dans l'un de ces trois Etats. Elle se mit d'abord sous la protection de la Pologne, qui la traita trop en sujette ; elle se donna ensuite au Moscovite, qui la gouverna en esclave autant qu'il le put.
Voltaire. Histoire de Charles XII. Tome XVI. Paris, 1878.
